c. Race

Ethnicity generally refers to cultural factors, such as nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language. An ethnic group shares common cultural traits. While race relates to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye color, ethnicity is linked to cultural expression and identification. However, the two are often intertwined, but they are distinct. For example, people might identify with the same race but can belong to different ethnic groups due to cultural differences, such as language, customs, and traditions.
